Setting a different parent for each player
I'm trying to make a game, where at the start of the game, every player is instantiated and assigned a next spawn point. I want the player's object to be a child of this spawn point. I tried to make an RPC, but it seems like it gives every player the same parent. In the photo is my recent attempt.
How do I set a different parent for each player as they get their object in the scene?

Solved it. It was easier than I initially thought actually. Found out I can just look up the actor number that is set on the current player object's Photon View.
The code in the Start() method of the player prefab's Script:
foreach (GameObject player in GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("PlayerInstance"))
{
PlayerScript playerScript = player.GetComponent<PlayerScript>();
player.transform.SetParent(spawnPoints[(playerScript.view.OwnerActorNr - 1)].transform);
player.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
}

If i try to do "SetParents" method, if view is mine, then that one player which is local gets assigned a parent and all the other ones do not. I want for every player to have the same scene and player parent allocation.
